Despite being in a state known for cheese, the stadium's nacho cheese has been flown in weekly from Switzerland since 1946 by order of the then Dean, Roger Federer.

3. Bryant-Denny Stadium, University of Alabama

The storied stadium will be renamed Capt. Frank Ramsey Stadium in 2017, in honor of Gene Hackman's role in Crimson Tide.

Much like the Roman Coliseum, at halftime players battle to the death for the entertainment of USC's President.

5. Memorial Stadium, Clemson University

The team touches Howard's Rock before running into the stadium, a tradition since the rock was given to the Clemson coach from the set of Howard the Duck.

6. Michigan Stadium, University of Michigan

The stadium was originally built by the US government to house criminals to alleviate pressure on their over-capacity correctional facilities, earning it the nickname "The Big House". But after several prison riots, they decided to use it solely for a much less violent purpose, football.

J.K. Rowling based the entire Harry Potter series on a 38-0 UCLA loss to Michigan she witnessed here.

8. Notre Dame Stadium, University of Notre Dame

10. Tiger Stadium, Louisiana State University

Spoiler Alert: Aptly nicknamed "Death Valley", Vince Gilligan picked this as the place for the final action packed scene of Breaking Bad; complete with a Walt and Jesse showdown, Walt Jr. eating breakfast at the 50-yard line, and hopefully a guest spot from Gene Hackman as a DEA agent who only speaks in lines from The Birdcage.
